exhaust wrap ? ?

[redriderRR]

wonderin if anybody has used exhaust wrap on their pipes to keep heat down, just put on yoshi RS-5 slip on and am noticing more heat on my right leg where the pipe goes up under the seat. does exhaust wrap really work that great ?

I've heard mixed opinions...search 600rr.net. I optied not to do it. but there's a lot of ppl that swear by it..

I have used the wrap many times. It will cut down on the heat you feel from the pipe,but will super heat the pipe itself. Depending on the material the pipe is made of it will shorten the life of the pipe.

I wrapped my Termi race pipe because it was cooking my leg, it made a huge difference. Keep in mind that the materials are expensive(about $170 through Jegs) and it's a bitch to do(it took me two days). If i had to do it over again I'd just send the pipe off and have it Jet-Hot coated, it's about the same price and not nearly the PITA as wrapping. I'm not sure it's as good at heat reduction though.

Anything other than Ti pipes are fine. Like stated above, it super heats the pipe itself and with Ti, it will become brittle.

It will also scar the pipe. I ran wrap on my Ti-Force until I saw it scarring the pipe and Aaron at Ti-Force told me it was a "no-no"...
